Mom's Group BBQ

We just attended a BBQ that one of the mom's from Laura's Mom's Group hosted. It was fun to catch up with everyone and see how the babies have grown since the first meeting back in February! Of course, Caitlynn "beat up" some of the other babies there by kicking them, puling their hair, and taking their toys. I guess we're going to have to talk to her about "Sharing and Caring".

7 Months Old

Caitlynn is now 7 months old and is such a big girl! She weighs about 18 pounds and is 26.5 inches long. She sleeps from 8ish to 7ish every night and takes a nap from about 12-1:30 and 4-4:30 almost everyday. She drinks 4 7 oz bottles a day, 3 of which are formula which she seems to be able to tolerate well. She eats: Cheerios for breakfast, rice cereal/oatmeal and a fruit for lunch, and a veggie for dinner. New foods that she has tried this month are: Cheerios, carrots, sweet potatoes, avocado, and applesauce, most of which Laura has made for her. She doesn't always like foods the first time she's introduced to them but eventually gets used to and will eat most of them.

She can now sit up all by herself for extended periods of time. She loves playing with her toys but is always more interested in what she can't or shouldn't have and everything goes right into her mouth! Speaking off, her tooth has completely broken through and she only shows it when she is smiling nice and big. She's even starting to cut another bottom tooth! She has discovered how to squeal in delight and does it most often when Rocco is around her. She loves her "Jump-Up" but still isn't quite tall enough to bounce using both feet. She continues to be a happy little girl who brings joy and amazement to our lives!

Ocean City, NJ

Caitlynn and Laura had one last vacation in Ocean City, NJ with Popi, Mimi, Aunt Jill, and Mike and Joyce Miller. We all had a great time enjoying the sand and sun and watching Caitlynn. It was a trip of some "firsts" for her: playing in the ocean, chewing on a corn cob, and shopping in AC.

Caitlynn's first kiss!

Caitlynn was on a play date with Evan today and is apparently smitten with him!
